4 stars The songs on this album are very good but the original studios are much better i think.Hoedow is a powerful opener but i think that it is playd much too fast.Jerusalem is the same as on Brain salad maybe only lake's voice is a bit disoriented.Toccata is fine maybe better than the original, but i realy don't like this version of tarkus because of the poor aquatarkus section which is my favorite...Take a pebble and the piano improvisations are nice.Next is the jeremy bender and the sheriff medley which is a nice idea and something interesting for the fans.The album closes with the exccelent song karn evil 9 which is also better on the original album ( in my opinion) but this one has some nice improvisation added so it is something new and original.All in all this is a nice album which i think is worth your atention.
